Senior Congress leaders from Maharashtra on Monday claimed the vehicles of party workers that were headed towards Surat to extend support to Rahul Gandhi were stopped by the Gujarat police.

Former Maharashtra minister Balasaheb Thorat said several leaders and workers of Congress were asked to pull over, and the Gujarat police ensured they did not make videos. Similar allegations were made by Mumbai Congress president Bhai Jagtap and former Maharashtra minister Yashomati Thakur.
